There are tons of places to get wheels online, and fairly cheap. I would definitely avoid a dealer in this regard unless they're dramatically marked down - which they sometimes can be.

1) Find out what sort of wheel you have. If it takes freewheel gears or a cassette, because one or the other may not work with your shifting mechanisms.

2) Go to roadbikereview.com, look in the classifieds, and see what they have. Or, do a Google search with your wheel's name and model in the search field, and see who's selling it.

3) Bicycle wheels are stupid expensive, particularly when a pair of moderately good road wheels can sometimes be more expensive than a set of Fuchs.
